On the Issues

SCHA is committed to helping our hospitals recruit, develop, and maintain a quality workforce.

SCHA supports broad measures to improve the state’s behavioral healthcare system by modernizing behavioral health patient transport, providing programs for crisis intervention and integrating behavioral health services into primary care.

SCHA believes that as the ability to use telemedicine to treat a variety of health issues expands, the reimbursement and utilization of technology should also expand.

SCHA opposes unreasonable increases and additional exceptions to the Tort Claims Act.

SCHA has focused our legislative strategy on establishing enhanced penalties for acts of violence committed against a healthcare worker.
